    Coroner: Uh, you say he had a .38 special hidden on him, right? Little, tiny revolver?

    Cop: Yep, a .38.

    Coroner: Yeah, well, we pulled a .45 slug from his head.

    Cop: Ain't that the damnest thing?

    Boom is slipping. Suspicious death in Arkansas is always. Whitewater-related on first reference.

    I am having trouble with the "why" here -- it sure didn't seem like he was facing a life-altering legal ordeal based on this traffic stop. Very curious that he'd just choose to off himself at that instant in the back of a cop car. I suppose they could call it an "accident," but the muzzle being pressed up against his head would indicate that if he was the shooter, it was intentional.

    If they frisked him twice and still couldn't find anything, how stupid are these cops?

    Indeed. Looks like these cops have had some practice.

    This reminds me of a bit I heard years ago from comedian Ron Shock. FF to the 2:25 mark:



    As an aside, in my search for this clip, I discovered Shock, a very funny dude, died earlier this year in Las Vegas, so a belated RIP.

    Good to see that Dr. Fahmy Malak is still hard at work.

    The fact that they're having to put out a video showing it can be done shows how sketchy this all is.
